About Field Notes

Field Notes is a means of amplifying and widening the conversations the NAS team has with leaders in the field and experts outside the field. The entire staff will contribute our observations and insights and share a commitment to providing something useful, useable. We see our job here as mining, distilling and contextualizing ideas; providing the morals of these stories, the frameworks that anyone can use; and offering everyone in the field the opportunity to discuss the underlying issues.
